Two non-joining rim and neck fragments from each side of the vase. Dull glaze, abraded on rim on b. P.H. a) 0.055, b) 0.053; max. dim. a) 0.096, b) 0.089. Schleiffenbaum, Volutenkrater, p. 323, cat. no. V 202.
On side of rim, key pattern to right. Fragment a comes from near the handle zone because there is a reserved area to the left of the ornament, a chain of upright lotuses and encircled palmettes. Fragment b (from the other side) preserves part of a lotus-palmette festoon.
For an earlier example of the lotus-palmette festoon on the neck of a volute-krater, see Louvre G 166 (joining Louvre Cp 10799) by the Berlin Painter (ARV2 206, 129--130; Addenda 194).
